A real-life Shakespearian drama is unfolding as the world watches First Lady Jill Biden and Hunter Biden desperately cling to power through President Joe Biden despite the doom his obvious declining mental capacity spells for the country. In an unbelievable move, the First Lady has made it perfectly clear that her husband will not be removed from the presidential campaign. In a Vogue Magazine cover released Monday, the magazine features her, not her husband, with the tagline: “We Will Determine Our Future.” The cover image is Jill in an all-white Ralph Lauren power suit dress, staring “stoically” at something out...

When Britain voted to exit the European Union in 2016, Donald Trump, then the Republican candidate for president, declared himself “Mr. Brexit.” Trump claimed solidarity with the nationalism, isolationism, and anti-immigrant fervor that drove Brexiteers and incorporated it into the America First platform he pursued after winning the 2016 presidential race. Brits now view their populist experiment as a dismal failure. Champions of Brexit, such as former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, promised that severing political and economic integration with most of the rest of Europe would boost prosperity and self-sufficiency and leave more money for government services. Instead, the UK...

Rather than splurging on impulsive purchases, China’s young are saving ferociously as the world’s second-largest economy remains in the doldrums. ...A 26-year-old with username ‘Little Zhai Zhai’ is detailing her attempt to cap her monthly spending at just 300 Chinese yuan ($41.28) a month, with a recent video showing how she curtailed her daily meal expenses to just 10 yuan ($1.38). Others are finding “savings partners” on social media. These partners form a savings circle that ensures its members stick with their goals. Savings measures also include dining at community canteens usually for the elderly, where fresh meals are sold...

A Tennessee jury has awarded a former research scientist at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee $687,000 in back pay and damages after she was fired in 2021 for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.Following a three-day jury trial in Chattanooga last week, a federal jury decided BlueCross failed to provide reasonable accommodation for Tanja Benton, who did most of her work from home and claimed a religious exemption to the company's vaccine mandate. Chattanooga Attorney Doug S. Hamill, who represents Benton, said the biostatistical research scientist was fired in November 2021 in violation of her religious beliefs after working for the...

Despite huge acreage and treacherous terrain, most missing persons at Yellowstone National Park are found. But a small number of disappearances have never been solved. The reasons why are as vast as the park. =============================================================== Dan Campbell was illegally hunting elk antler sheds in Yellowstone Park when he disappeared more than three decades ago. Campbell had set off from Hellroaring Trailhead to Jardine, Montana, outside of the park's boundaries, with his dog Freckles for a four-day trek. However, when the 42-year-old Montana man failed to appear at the designated location and time, his girlfriend, Tracy Erb, reported him missing April...

Jill Biden was featured in the high-fashion magazine Vogue this week in a cringeworthy puff piece in which she declared that her husband “will always do what’s best for the country.” The First Lady said she would not allow president Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate performance to define his presidency and would “continue to fight.”

Forty-one percent of Democrat voters want President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, a Monday USA Today/Suffolk University poll found, while only 51 percent want him to remain on the ticket. The poll represents one of the first post-debate polls that Democrat operatives and donors will study to determine the total damage to Biden’s candidacy following his debate performance. By a five-to-one ratio, the poll found former President Donald Trump won the exchange. Only 28 percent of Biden supporters said he won. Only 24 percent of Democrats said the debate increased their support for Biden, while nine...

Severe Destruction of the Danville Railroad-Twenty Miles of Track Destroyed-Depots, Bridges, &c., Burned-The Rebel Cavalry Concentrate to Cut off Wilson's Return-Infantry Gone to Wilson's Aid. NEAR PETERSBURGH, Tuesday, JUNE 28?11 P.M. A large body of rebel cavalry that moved around our left, is now at Ream's Station, on the Petersburgh and Weldon Railroad. Gen. WILSON's Third Division of Cavalry passed this place a few days ago, en route for the Danville and Richmond Railroad. The rebels were too slow in their movements to head him off. Gen. WILSON reached the road, destroying many miles of the track before he retraced...

Like everyone else, I’ve been reading about the abysmal prospects for our country after the presidential debate, and there’s one recurring theme: the problem is the candidates. This is simple and convenient, but I think it is wrong. One guy is clearly incompetent and the other guy is a jerk, but in any republic or democracy, the candidates reflect things about who we are as a nation. You have to ask yourself how, in a population of over 300 million people, these two guys are the best we can do. Of course, the easy conclusion is that we have been...

On Monday, President Biden delivered a surprise four-and-a-half minute address condemning the Supreme Court’s decision in Donald Trump v. The United States released that morning. Special prosecutor Jack Smith has alleged that Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election by “spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud.” Trump’s legal team argued that the allegations made by Smith fell under “the outer perimeter” of Trump’s official duties as president, and he was therefore immune from prosecution (so the charges should be summarily dismissed). The Supreme Court ruled that a former president is “presumptively” immune from prosecution for any “official” duties...

President Biden has allegedly been observed experiencing mental decline on as many as 20 occasions over the past year — suggesting his disastrous debate performance last week was “not a one-off,” sources close to the president told legendary journalist Carl Bernstein. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief’s close circle were not strangers to the “horror show that we witnessed” during his disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump, Bernstein told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday. “These are people, several of them who are very close to President Biden, who loved him, have supported him, and among them are some people who would raise a...

VIDEOMorning Joe Scarborough was absent again from the Morning Joe set on July 2, 2024 because he is still in the doghouse with Mika. However, that did not mean there was any relief from the tension caused by Joe Biden's disastrous CNN debate performance. Mika turned to Sam Stein, managing editor of the Bulwark, for some solace. Unfortunately his prevailing message about the concentrate circle of donors and others surrounding Joe Biden and DOCTOR Jill is... PANIC!

Swiss tech startup FinalSpark is now selling access to biocomputers that combine up to four tiny lab-grown human brains with silicon chips. This new product, called the Neuroplatform, uses small versions of human brains to do computer work instead of silicon chips. The company says it can fit 16 of these mini-brains onto the Neuroplatform and use a fraction of the energy required to power a traditional set up. The platform, currently adopted by nine institutions, integrates hardware, software and biology to create a processing system that is energy-efficient and high-performing. FinalSpark’s founders, Fred Jordan and Martin Kutter, hope to...

President Joe Biden was roundly mocked after he debuted his new spray tan during his remarks about the Supreme Court’s decision on Donald Trump‘s immunity case. However, viewers noticed more than Biden’s bizarre look; they also noticed that he read “end of the quote” during another battle with the teleprompter. “Justice Sotomayor’s dissent today. She hears what she said. She said that in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law with fear for our democracy. I dissent.” “End of quote.” But Biden’s spray-tanned look was a topic of conversation on social media. Following...

“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!” (2 Corinthians 13:5). True believers will see the glory of Christ reflected in their lives when they examine the genuineness of their salvation. Assurance of one’s salvation has been a key issue throughout the history of the church, especially the Reformers’ reaction to the Roman Catholic Church’s assertion that since salvation is a joint effort between man and God, the outcome is in doubt until the end. John Calvin, the leading sixteenth-century Reformer, taught that believers can and should be assured of their salvation. He made the grounds...

~A land of legalisms is not the same as a land of law - a vital distinction increasingly lost on Americans of both left and right. Thus, yesterday's Supreme Court decision on "presidential immunity", which was good-ish for Trump, was immediately seized on by Democrats as an opportunity to indulge their kinky and psychologically unhealthy murder fantasies: Sean Davis on X: One of the lawyers for the fake Ukraine impeachment “whistleblower” just called for Biden to imprison his political opponents and then have them killed. There was a lot of this about yesterday - including the penetrating insight that the...

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) blamed President Joe Biden’s performance in last week’s presidential debate on “preparation overload” and stated that during the debate, “Biden was trying not to stray from the preparation, and he was grappling for numbers, grappling for platform positions, rather than reacting to the question directly from his own personal feelings, personal experiences.” Clyburn stated, “Well, as I watched the debate, alone, in my condo — I decided not to go to any watch parties — I felt, from the very beginning, that Joe Biden was going...
